In this episode, Ian Johnson revisits one of his most iconic projects – the custom-built LJ buggy from Season 1 of FourWheeler. It’s been five years since the rig first hit the trails, and after countless trips through rocks, mud, and tough off-road terrain, the wear and tear has left its mark.
Join Ian as he assesses the damage and reveals which components have stood the test of time, and which need a serious upgrade. From reworking suspension components to the possibility of dropping in a new transmission, Ian is ready to bring the buggy back to top form.
The episode also covers installing fresh skid plates, swapping out old tires for some new beefy rubber, and—if time allows—adding custom interior accents Ian never finished during the initial build.
It’s a full day of wrenching, rebuilding, and revisiting this fan-favorite rig, with plenty of insights for off-road enthusiasts looking to maintain or upgrade their own projects. Get ready for an episode packed with tips, tricks, and plenty of metal grinding action!
